16 best and cheapest ways to send money from Algeria to Malawi in 2021 - FromTo.money - 1 views

  • World Remit. Starting from 2016, it is now possible to use World Remit website and mobile app to send money from Algeria to Malawi and other 150 countries. You can load your World Remit account through World Remit cash collection points, or some local banks in Algeria. Advantages of using World Remit: It is safe and secure.
  • PayPal. It is not possible to send directly to Malawi using this service with a normal account balance. The balance will need to be withdrawn from a linked bank account. DZ Bank and its branches do issue VISA/MasterCard cards that you can then link to your PayPal account. From there, you can load your PayPal account and send it to anyone in Malawi.

      WorldRemit need to target this kind of options. The traditional banks in Algeria can't send money to Malawi and WorldRemit can do that so it's a big advantage for the company.

WorldRemit has to be careful about competition and in this company it has to deal with the latest technologies.

In collaboration with the Moroccan Start-up Ecosystem Catalysts (MSEC), it has launched a social initiative called #SolidariTECH. It orientates the startups to develop agile solutions to the COVID19 and quarantine issues for the benefit of civil society, companies and the Government. They provide new solutions in the fields of health, education and even DabaDoc medical consultation online. Now this initiative is welcoming a new stakeholder, the International Finance Corporation. It also aims to deploy the solutions proposed by these startups in neighboring countries such as Algeria and Tunisia and identify new synergies between #SolidariTECH and similar initiatives carried out in the Maghreb region.

DabaDoc: Overview | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • DabaDoc.com, an internet company, has a mission of improving access to healthcare in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. DabaDoc is the most convenient, free way to find a nearby health practitioner, instantly book an appointment online and ask the community of doctors all types of medical questions !
    • aminej
       
      I love this concept because it is very innovative and practical for people who urgently need an appointment with a doctor. In Morocco, most of the nurses who work with doctors are the one charged with taking appointments, unfortunately they do not answer the phone and people end up without appointments so I believe it can resolve this issue since you will not need to go through the nurse to take your appointment.

How TPAY MOBILE is supporting inclusion across the Middle East and Africa - TPAY MOBILE - 4 views

  • And today our technology does just that, by allowing merchants and operators to accept mobile payments from consumers without the need for a traditional bank account.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      This reflects how the company targets underbanked groups, and how it achieves financial inclusion.
  • Coupled with the differing financial, legal, and operational processes across the MEA region is limited access to traditional banking infrastructure, with 63% (circa 1 billion) of the adult population unbanked. While this is a common trait in emerging markets, it does mean that traditional transactions based on credit and debit cards are not a realistic prospect for many consumers. However, with smartphone penetration growing apace, and with it the ability and desire to purchase goods and services through digital channels, there is an increasing need for alternative payment methods to support access and consumption.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      Here the article explains why there is a need for TPAY Mobile products: 1- Largely unbanked population = traditional transactions based on debit and credit cards are not realistic. 2- Smartphone penetration + ability & desire to purchase digitally = need for alternative payment methods.
  • And our team’s inclusion efforts don’t stop there. TPAY MOBILE employees have been volunteering and hosting financial literacy workshops with INJAZ Egypt, a non-profit organization empowering young people to own their economic success through partnering with businesses and educational institutions across the country.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      Social work for financial inclusion appears to be a priority for the company. Collaboration with an NGO in Egypt reflects that.
  •  
    Very interesting company! Even though it is an Algerian company, its scope goes beyond the African borders to include the whole MEA region!

The remittance industry is failing those who need it most - By Dr Ismail Ahmed, founder... - 1 views

  • The remittance market in Africa has for too long been monopolised by companies imposing very high fees that are on average three times those charged on remittances to Asia. They combine a pricing structure that imposes extortionate minimum charges with consistently poor services.
  • This has its roots in Western Union’s early activities in the African continent. As the first formal mover in the money transfer market, it worked to establish long-standing exclusivity agreements with all major African banks and money transfer agents, barring them from working with competitors. Such exclusivity agreements have propelled Western Union to a near-monopoly position in key African corridors, and have prevented the industry from being competitive.

      WorldRemit's founder claimed that the remittance industry is failing individuals who most need it. I believe that by offering low fees and gaining consumer confidence, WorldRemit will profit from this issue.

  • WorldRemit, on the other hand, partners with local banks and mobile networks; in Kenya, for example, it is working with electronic wallet service M-Pesa, so that money can be transferred instantly to all customers. The recipient can retrieve the funds as a bank deposit into a local WorldRemit bank account, as mobile money, airtime top-up or as cash at a supermarket. The fees are two to three per cent lower than those charged by most banks. WorldRemit’s closest rival is Remitly, another digital-only company that specialises in sending money from developed countries to the developing world.
